“Chavez invested Venezuela’s oil wealth into social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs. But those gains were meager compared with the spectacular construction projects that oil riches spurred in glittering Middle Eastern cities, including the world’s tallest building in Dubai and plans for branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi.”

I don’t really approve of the short-sighted ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ way of thinking, but when someone pisses off so many of my own opponents without treading on my toes, then I don’t see him as an enemy at all. And, if we’re honest, supposing the UK was under the government of someone like Hugo Chavez most people would actually be better off than we are at present.

If you think about what Hugo Chavez actually did and stood up for, the liberal hypocrites pretending to mourn him in mainstream media like The Guardian would disapprove of some patriotic Chavez figure acting in favour of disadvantaged British whites. Their double standard when it comes to patriotic socialism only proves their morality is rooted in a hatred of the people on their own doorstep.
